ARL and SAA will deliver four DAS courses back-to-back in a single week, traveling across 11 different ARL host libraries over the next 18 months.

Update: The courses that were scheduled to be held at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst in July have been postponed. It is anticipated that the UMass courses will be rescheduled for 2014.
